Magnolia Street NE Old Northeast Courtyards

Magnolia Street NE is an Old Northeast block with brick paving, mature canopy, and houses that sit close to the setback. A courtyard here is usually a side or rear court, not a wide suburban pad. The paver field has to respect the brick street out front and the floor elevation of a house that may be a century old.

Scale and water

We keep the court off the trunk flare, sleeve any landscape lighting before the base, and pitch the field to a discreet drain so water does not run at the stem wall. Colors stay in the sand and clay range that already lives on these streets. A bright modern blend reads wrong against brick and clapboard, and it is harder to repair later.

  • Court sized to the lot, not a catalog rectangle

  • Drain before pavers, clear of the foundation

  • Lighting and irrigation sleeved in the base

  • Edge that can meet an existing brick walk without a cold joint lip
